In the Benedictine tradition, education reaches far beyond the world of fact and intellect to embrace the holiness within each person – that grain or kernel of God that gives each of our lives significance and purpose. Saint Martin’s encourages each member of its community to explore and grow spiritually, to love and respect others; and to mirror that reflection of God within us in the choices we make and the actions we take. Spirituality is the beating heart of Saint Martin’s, and from it comes our commitment to welcome others with open hearts, help those in need and care for the world we live in. It is woven into the fabric of University life in and out of the classroom, and particularly encouraged by opportunities to take part in religious services and studies, Campus Ministry, community service and social justice activities.
